Embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are described.
Fig. 3 is the sectional view of structure of the electric-field sensor of expression first embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 4 is the block diagram of structure of the electric field detection system of the expression electric-field sensor that utilizes Fig. 3.
With reference to Fig. 3, electric-field sensor 105 comprises: constitute the core layer 106 of fiber optics 101, the clad 107 that surrounds core layer 106 and the electric optical layers 108 that is formed on the top ends of fiber optics 101.The top ends of fiber optics 101 is processed smooth by grinding, and electric optical layers 108 is formed directly on its abrasive surface.
With reference to Fig. 4, the electric field detection system comprises continuous laser source 100, fibre amplifier 102,112, polarisation controller 103, light circulator 104, be arranged on electric-field sensor 105, analyzer 111, photoelectric detector 113 as circuit substrate 109 tops of measuring object, be connected fiber optics 101 and optical spectrum analyser 114 between them.
The laser that penetrates from continuous laser source 100 amplifies by fibre amplifier 102, behind polarisation controller 103 control plane of polarisations, incides in the electric-field sensor 105 by light circulator 104.Because the electric field that takes place from circuit substrate 109 can make the refractive index of electric optical layers 108 change, so the polarized condition of reflector laser 110 changes.Emission laser 110 is converted to the light of representing polarized condition by light circulator 104 by analyzer 111, after being amplified by fibre amplifier 112, is converted to electric signal by photoelectric detector 113.The electric signal that is converted to is analyzed by optical spectrum analyser 114.
Because the resolution relevant with the variable quantity of the polarized condition that causes because of electric-field sensor 105 is determined by the thickness of electric optical layers 108, therefore preferred thin electric optical layers 108.In addition, it is long-pending that electric-field sensor 105 is output as the thickness of the electric optical coefficient of the change of refractive amount that expression causes because of electric field and electric optical layers 108.Therefore, in order to satisfy high resolving power and high output simultaneously, make the electric optical layers 108 as Sensor section have interference effect, the optical path length that prolongs on apparent is very important.
In existing example shown in Figure 1, though adopted the electric optics thin layerization that makes bulk and made its structure that is bonded in the top of fiber optics,, in such structure, make and the depth of parallelism of fiber optics end face difficulty comparatively then, can't obtain sufficient interference effect.In addition, for the thin layerization of big block part, about 10 μ m the limit in the processing, can't improve resolution.
In the present embodiment, by electric optical layers 108 usefulness films being formed directly into the top of fiber optics 101, realize having high sensitivity, high-resolution electric-field sensor.
Electric optical layers 108 forms by air supporting sedimentation (aerosol deposition), and this method applies the mechanical impact force load to the ultramicron hard brittle material and makes its pulverizing, engages then and be formed into body.Thickness is 9 microns.With Pb (Zr 0.6Ti 0.4) O 3(below, be called PZT) as material powder film forming under the following conditions, that is: be that the incident angle of carrier gas, nozzle and substrate is that 10 degree, gas flow are that distance is that 5mm, film forming speed are 0.8 μ m/min, the vibration number that adds the device that shakes is 250rpm between 12 liters/minute, nozzle plate with oxygen.

Fig. 5 simulation shows the SEM photo of PZT film 202 that is formed on the end of fiber optics 201 by the air supporting sedimentation.PZT film 202 is close to the end of fiber optics 201, forms with 9 microns thickness.The air supporting sedimentation is characterised in that the thick film that can form the composite oxides of similar PZT at short notice.
After the thermal treatment, concavo-convex for the film surface of removing electric optical layers 202 (108), and it is ground to 7 microns of thickness and makes its planarization.
Fig. 6 represents the wavelength dependence of the film flattening surface back reflection amount of electric optical layers 202 (108).301 is reflectance spectrum of the present invention, can obtain the degree of modulation about 30dB.This shows that the electric optical layers by being formed by the present invention can obtain bigger resonant structure, is suitable as the EO sensor.320 expressions are used for comparison and use the reflectance spectrum of EO sensor of the EO crystallization of existing example.In existing example, degree of modulation is about 2dB, thereby can't obtain sufficient resonant structure.
In the above description, the composition of the electric optical layers when consisting of PZT is illustrated, and still, is not limited to this composition, for example, also can be the composition that has added La.
In addition, except the material of lead zirconate titanate system, the barium titanate that electric optical effect is bigger, strontium also are effective material for barium titanate, tantalum for potassium niobate etc.

The diameter d of electric optical layers 108 satisfies the outbalance that concerns of dc≤d≤dr between the diameter d r of the diameter d c of the core 106 of fiber optics 101 and clad 107.When diameter d is dc when following,, therefore can't obtain sufficient reflection light quantity because scattering can take place incident laser.In addition, form more than the diameter d r of clad 107 also very difficult by the film forming gimmick.
It is that the top of the three-way crooked distribution of 5 μ m uses the electric-field sensor 105 of present embodiment to measure the result of Electric Field Distribution and the result who uses existing electric-field sensor to measure that Fig. 7 is illustrated in the distribution width/space.Apply the signal of 10MHz, 15dBm to crooked distribution.Fig. 7 is configured in the position of top 10 μ m of distribution and the distribution that obtains when it is scanned with 1 μ m spacing with electric-field sensor on the direction of transversal distribution.The peak electric field of using existing sensor to observe between adjacent wiring is unclear, relative therewith, can clearly observe peak electric field by using sensor of the present invention.That is, Fig. 7 is expression electric-field sensor of the present invention has high spatial resolution than existing electric-field sensor a example.
Fig. 8 is the sectional view of formation of the electric-field sensor of the expression second embodiment of the present invention, shows the structure that can further improve transducer sensitivity.For present embodiment, on the surface of the electric optical layers 508 identical, added dielectric multilayer reflectance coating 504 with the electric optical layers 108 of the electric-field sensor of first embodiment.
In Fig. 8, for electric-field sensor 505, by core layer 506 and the top ends of surrounding the fiber optics 501 that its clad 507 constitutes be formed with electric optical layers 508.The top ends of fiber optics 501 is processed smooth by grinding, and electric optical layers 508 is formed directly on the abrasive surface of fiber optics 501.The formation of electric optical layers 508 and manufacture method are identical with first embodiment.
On the electric optical layers 508 of planarization, use ion plating method to form dielectric multilayer reflection horizon 504.Dielectric multilayer reflectance coating 504 is the SiO of 303nm by repeating film forming thickness 2Film and thickness are the Ta of 186nm 2O 5Film and constituting.When film forming, the limit is by monitor measuring light optical spectra, and the control of thickness is carried out by opening and closing the shutter on the vapor deposition source in the limit.Can when reducing, improve interference effect by using dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 504 to the electric field effects of measuring.
Fig. 9 is the sectional view of formation of the electric-field sensor of the expression third embodiment of the present invention, shows the structure that can further improve transducer sensitivity.For present embodiment, by with from the mode of the identical electric optical layers 608 of the electric optical layers 108 of clamping up and down and the electric-field sensor of first embodiment with the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 604 direct laminations of the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside and upside top ends at fiber optics 601, form Fabry pendant Lip river resonator structure.
For electric-field sensor 605, be formed with the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside in the top ends of the fiber optics 601 that constitutes by core layer 606 and the clad 607 that surrounds it.The top ends of fiber optics 601 is processed smooth by grinding, and the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside is formed directly on the abrasive surface of fiber optics 601.
The dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside is formed by ion plating method.The dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside is the SiO of 303nm by repeating film forming thickness 2Film and thickness are the Ta of 186nm 2O 5Film and constituting.When film forming, the limit is by monitor measuring light optical spectra, and the control of thickness is carried out by opening and closing the shutter on the vapor deposition source in the limit.On the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 603 of downside, form the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 604 of electric optical layers 608, upside.The formation and the manufacture method in the dielectric multilayer film reflection horizon 604 of electric optical layers 608 and upside are identical with second embodiment.
Figure 10 represents the thickness correlativity of electric optical layers PZT of the reflectance spectrum of the 3rd embodiment.Along with the thickness thickening of PZT, the half-amplitude of the resonance peak that reflectivity descends diminishes.Because in highly sensitive sensing, Q value need be more than 1000, so more than the thickness PZT needs 1 μ m.

Owing to by the magnetic field that produces from circuit substrate 809 faraday's rotation angle of magneto-optical layer 808 is changed, so the polarized condition of reflector laser 810 changes.Emission laser 810 is converted to the light of representing polarized condition by light circulator 804 by analyzer 811, after being amplified by fibre amplifier 812, is converted to electric signal by photoelectric detector 813.The electric signal that is converted to can be analyzed by optical spectrum analyser 814.
Because the resolution relevant with the variable quantity of the polarized condition that causes because of magnetic field sensor 805 is determined by the thickness of magneto-optical layer 808, therefore preferred thin electric optical layers 808.In addition, magnetic field sensor 805 is output as the amassing of thickness of faraday's rotation angle and magneto-optical layer 808.Therefore,, make magneto-optical layer 808 have interference effect, prolong then outbalance of apparent optical path length as Sensor section in order to satisfy high resolving power and high output simultaneously.In existing example, though adopted the magneto-optical parts thin layerization that makes bulk and made its structure that is bonded in the top of fiber optics,, make and the depth of parallelism of fiber optics end face difficulty comparatively then, can't obtain sufficient interference effect.In addition, for the thin layerization of big block part, about 10 μ m the limit in the processing, can't improve resolution.
